Young students at one Washington State elementary school are being forced to eat lunch outside in near-freezing temperatures, for “safety.”
Parents of Lakeview Elementary students were outraged after finding out their children had returned from winter break and were being made to eat their meals outdoors as part of the school’s COVID policies on social distancing. One mom, who has two children enrolled in the school’s first and third grades, said her husband called the school to ask about the policy after their kids complained, only to be told that children would be required to eat outside “as long as temperatures did not drop below 38 degrees Fahrenheit,” the Kirland Reporter stated.
According to school officials, that threshold wasn't chosen due to concern for the children or for any COVID-related scientific reasons, but rather because that's the average wintertime temperature for the area.
From the Reporter:
Lake Washington School District spokesperson Shannon Parthemer said the 38-degree threshold was decided on because it is the average temperature of Kirkland during the months of December, January and February. She said if temperatures fall below that mark, the school will work to find other places for students to eat lunch indoors.
“The principal did send a message to families yesterday, to remind families to dress their children warmly for school today, as students will continue to eat in this outdoor covered space,” said Parthemer.

With that rationale, if the average temp was minus 38, the kids would also be sent outside.
Are all school employees this F’ing stupid?
Homeschool. When will parents take responsibility for their children’s education?
I’m willing to bet there are regulations against treating prisoners this way.
Why does no one file a charge of child abuse against these monsters?
Insleehole should be made to eat HIS lunch outside.
How many times do these dopey parents have to be told? TAKE YOUR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS!! Geez Louise.
It appears most of the parents are ok with this. They alone have the power to change things.
Are all school employees this F’ing stupid?

Share the blame. Parents have to be this F’ing stupid as they deliberately send their kids to public schools.
Not stupid, just selfish.
Shannon Parthemer should be made to spend days on end outside in the cold weather to see just how well she subscribes to the global warming philosophy...
Kinda like the joke that’s been going around “a pedophile and a convicted felon go into a bar...but an unvaccinated person can’t”...
ARTH ping!
Nothing to see.
Washington, Oregon, California.
It’s the left coast, don’t ‘ya know?
Why does no one file a charge of child abuse against these monsters? |
For the same reasons parents don't report rapes, beatings and other abuses of children ongoing daily at public schools.
Who wants A/G Garland, The DOJ and the FBI to put you on a domestic terrorist list?
Paedorouthoúniphobes!
Irrational fear of children's nostrils.
I wonder if the teacher’s lounge is closes.
I wonder if the teachers and principal eat lunch with their students.
I guess the dems are continuing to figure how they can kill more people, kids, etc. There is no doubt in my mind that America is circling the DRAIN.
